We moved from the bridge and went to where one of the old train stations were near West Genesee and N. Michigan and caught a great view of the 1225 Christmas Train as it came through Saginaw Michigan.

  • @PereMarquette1223 You can see the mechanism in the videos of her, and hear the air popping when it swings. It's definitely an air rocker mechanism.

  • @SantaFe158 I don't think so, her sister loco, Pere Marquette 1223 (which I am very familiar with) has a manuel swinging bell. None of the PM berks I believe had any form of automatic bells.

  • What a beauty!

  • @mattdean1003 You cant see that bell swinging?

  • @mattdean1003 Actually, you might be surprised, but I believe that the bell on the 1225 has an air rocker, which makes it swing like normal, but is powered by air.

  • the whistle is beautiful....

  • That's pretty awesome. I'm 22 years old and I've never seen a working steam locomotive except for in videos and on youtube here. 1225 has a glorious sounding whistle, and my personal favorite, what seems to be a hand rang bell. I prefer the sound that a swinging bell makes.

  • Thank you for posting this video. My grandpa was an engineer on this train on the 40's and 50's.
